about

This was JoAnn's fault! She wrote the lyrics as a takeoff on Paul and Storm's song "More Than Two." I'm always looking to learn new guitar parts, so I agreed to record a backing part for her. That turned into a whole pile of percussion tracks, several complete re-recordings of the guitar part, and different versions at different speeds. This one is at 115 BPM, which is slightly faster than the original (about 105 BPM).

lyrics

I can see just where you’re coming from
Our private times are becoming hum-drum
I think it would be fantastic
Another to love makes me enthusiastic

Just one thing about it I’d like to change --
Hear me out, it isn’t really so strange
I can easily love one more
But dear, just to be fair --

More than two
Is what I wanna do
Just not the way
That you say, it’s okay dear
I’d like to play, have a roll in the hay
But with me and you
And a he that is new
We’d have more fun if we’d run with a he for two!

You’ve so many friends that I’d love to know
Bob’s kind of cute, and so is your buddy Joe
It makes sense dear and I am willing --
A sandwich cookie with me as the filling

Don’t be jealous that I’d like it this way
And one more man wouldn’t mean that you’re gay
I’ve more than one port for a joystick
It’s really logical --

More than two
Is what I wanna do
Just not the way
That you say, it’s okay dear
I’d like to play, have a roll in the hay
But with me and you
And a he that is new
We’d have more fun if we’d run with a he for two!

Fonzie and Potsie and Mrs C
Rachels with Chandler and also Joey
Hot lips and Hawkeye and Trapper John
Uhura, Kirk and Spock just keep flying on
Natasha and Boris with Bullwinkle J.
Minnie and Mickey and Donald will play

They all knew the beauty of more than two

JoAnn Abbott: lyrics and female vocals; Paul R. Potts: backing vocals, nylon-string guitar, electric bass, 12-string acoustic guitar, hand percussion. Mixed and mastered in Logic with Izotope Alloy and Ozone. With apologies for the audio quality: speeding up the tracks in Logic from 105 to 115 has caused some slight degradation.
